Chapter 514: Scouting

As he spoke, the Prophet waved a hand to summon a meteorite, then sat upon it.

Gazing at the slowly rotating Universe Gate before him.

The Prophet exhaled a breath.

"Wait a little longer. Once the Void Arrival breaks through the Dark Plane and reaches the Zhu Yuzhou, destroying everything in the Zhu Yuzhou, the Void can launch its offensive."

"At that time, we can devour this Universe at the fastest speed and head to the next."

As he spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on the Prophet's face.

"Such a young and rich Universe can delay Heat Death for a long time."

"Wait patiently."

Returning to Ye Cang's side.

Ye Cang had already begun to deploy countermeasures against the Void Arrival.

The most important point was this.

To scout the situation of the Void.

And this extremely dangerous mission was naturally entrusted to Tianjian Squad.

Aside from the Tianjian Squad, it seemed no other legion could complete this mission.

After all, everything regarding the Void was unknown.

Super Soldiers from ordinary legions simply could not form sufficient combat power, to the point where they could not even escape if they encountered danger.

If all the legion commanders were sent, the legions would be left without leaders.

If an accident truly occurred, a new commander would have to be selected, and promoting them to a Third Generation God Body would take time; who could know if any accidents would occur during that period?

Tianjian Squad was different; they possessed the latest technology and the most top-tier Third Generation God Bodies. If any accident really happened, their speed in running away would definitely be much, much faster than a commander's.

After making up his mind, Ye Cang sent a notification to Tianjian Squad.

A few minutes later.

The 15 members of Tianjian Squad all stood before Ye Cang.

Ye Cang did not waste words and immediately informed the 15 of them about this mission.

"Your mission this time is a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation. Currently, on Earth, besides you and me, no one else can complete this task."

"Your mission this time is to head to the Styx Galaxy and scout the current movements of the Void."

"Remember, if there is any danger, evacuate at the first opportunity. Do not think about holding your ground; run as fast as you can!"

The 15 members of Tianjian Squad did not speak after listening, only nodding silently.

Then they turned and left.

However, Ye Cang called out to Shen.

"Shen, wait a moment."

Shen stopped his steps, turned around, and looked at Ye Cang.

"Chief Engineer, is there anything else?"

Ye Cang did not speak, but silently took out his own "Xuanyuan Sword" and handed it to Shen.

Shen did not quite understand this.

"Chief Engineer? What is this?"

"I have a Power Sword, and I even have a better Power Halberd. I really have no use for your weapon."

Looking at Shen, who did not reach out.

Ye Cang insisted on placing the "Xuanyuan Sword" into his hands.

"Shen, we can be considered old friends. When I was still an ordinary person, you were by my side, responsible for my safety."

"This operation is a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation; it is truly dangerous. But aside from Tianjian Squad, I cannot send anyone else."

"So, take this Power Sword that belongs uniquely to me. I have already performed some modifications on it, and you can use it too."

"The same goes for this: if you encounter danger you cannot withstand, retreat immediately. Run as fast as you can."

"You of Tianjian, 15 went, and 15 must return. Strive to not lose a single one!"

"Understood!" Shen nodded heavily after hearing this, gripped the "Xuanyuan Sword" in his hand, and then turned to leave.

Not long after, the 15 members of Tianjian had boarded the latest type of shuttle and left Earth.

The shuttle the 15 of them were riding was a type of light warship specifically used for travel; this light warship pushed speed to the extreme.

It would take less than half a day to reach Styx from here.

This was the current masterpiece of the Heavenly Craftsmen.

Half a day later.

The 15 members of Tianjian Squad arrived inside the Styx Galaxy and very smoothly found the Prophet and the purple Universe Gate.

It was not that the 15 had the Prophet's location beforehand.

It was just that... the situation in the Styx Galaxy was very special now.

In the very center of the Styx Galaxy sat an extremely massive Universe Gate.

This Universe Gate occupied most of the area of the Styx Galaxy, and a figure stood guard in front of the gate.

In this situation, anyone could discover it.

Looking at everything before them, they immediately recorded the situation and, after summarizing it, sent it directly back.

Yet, this very action of theirs was discovered by the Prophet guarding the gate.

"Someone has come?"

The Prophet turned his head and caught sight of the 15 members of Tianjian Squad hidden in the shadows.

"Oh? So-called Third Generation God Bodies?"

The Prophet felt a tiny bit of interest in these 15 people.

"It looks like you have come to scout for information."

"But to me, it makes no difference."

"The Void will devour everything sooner or later; even if I gave you all the intelligence, what could that possibly change?"

Shen did not speak, only gripped his Power Halberd tightly, stared fixedly at the Prophet before him, and quietly retreated with the other 14 squad members.

The Prophet did not stop them, but instead said again: "Do you see this Universe Gate before you?"

"This gate is what connects your Universe to the Void."

"Right now, this gate is constantly expanding; when it occupies the entire Styx Galaxy, the gate will open, and in your words, countless Void creatures will swarm into this Universe to devour everything."

"Furthermore, the Universe Gate will not stop expanding when it occupies the entire Styx Galaxy; it will continue to expand, its expansion endless, until it can no longer sustain itself and completely shatters."

"By that time, the Void will not even spare your Universe; the Universe will likewise be devoured."

After finishing, the Prophet seemed to recall something and patted his own head.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you."

"Void creatures are immortal and indestructible; even if you kill them, they will be reborn in the Void and then swarm back into this Universe again."

"Do not harbor delusions of communicating with them; except for a very small number of superiors, the rest of the Void creatures have no consciousness."

"Alright, I have told you everything I should."

"Now it depends on whether you can make it back alive!"

After speaking, the Universe Gate behind the Prophet began to rotate slowly.

In the blink of an eye.

The Universe Gate opened, and countless bizarrely shaped Void creatures swarmed out from the Universe Gate, arriving before the 15 members of the Tianjian Squad.

Some of these Void creatures looked like insects, some like animals, and some creatures even had only a single eyeball or a single brain.

The Void creatures had already broken through the limits of human imagination.

Some were even indescribable.

The Prophet pointed lightly toward the 15 people of the Tianjian Squad.
